ABSTRACT:
An integrally molded electrical connector 10 for interconnecting an array 60 of conductors of a first article 58 with a corresponding array 64 of conductors of a second article 62 includes a plurality of substantially rigid bifurcated tines joined by a bight section 30, each tine having arm portions 18, 24 deflectable toward each other; and compressible support means 46 extending between the arm portions 18, 24 of the tines 16; and continuous circuit means 36 defined along outer surfaces of tine arm portions 18, 24 and bight section 30. The array of tines is formed from a dielectric material. The compressible support means 46 has sufficient durometer to maintain contact normal force between the continuous circuit means 36 and the corresponding contact means of opposed first and second electrical articles 58, 62 upon the arm portions 18, 24 being compressively held between the pair of electrical articles 58, 62.
